If you use GHC 6.2.2 then yes. This has changed in GHC 6.3.

Checkout 'InstanceD' from the data structure 'Dec' and 'reifyDecl'.

I mailed you an example not so long ago (-:

These two splices are equivalent and work with GHC 6.2.2:
$([d| baz = "Hello Template Haskell" |])
$(do fn <- valD (varP "baz") (normalB (litE (stringL "Hello Template
Haskell"))) []
     return [fn])
